Skull crushers don’t have to crush your elbows or your ego. Do them right and they’re one of the best triceps builders around.
Here’s the clean form checklist
• Lie back, eyes under the bar or dumbbells
• Upper arms stay locked in place, perpendicular to the floor
• Only your forearms move. No flaring, no drifting
• Lower the weight behind your forehead, not to it. Your triceps want tension, not drama
• Control the negative, pause briefly, then extend hard without snapping your elbows
• Keep the load honest. If your shoulders are helping, your triceps are on vacation
Slow reps. Full range. Elbows happy. Triceps cooked.
Train smart, not reckless. Your future elbows will thank you.
